A new publication in PLOSOne describes a study at the University of Malaya which tested whether a biocomposite electrospun scaffold has the ability to induce differentiation of hMSCs into osteogenic lineage without specific growth factors. Three scaffolds were generated by The Electrospinning Company for this purpose: PLLA + collagen, PLLA + hydroxyapatite (HA) and PLLA… Read more »

We have completed the move of our manufacturing and QA into ISO Class VII clean room facilities to allow production of clinical-grade material at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory near Harwell, Oxford. Our extensive scaffold design expertise and manufacture capabilities can help to translate your research through to the clinic. • Electrospun scaffolds from a variety… Read more »
